New gutters today. I think it will be at least a year before I could contemplate enduring any more home improvements, although this lot is at least more careful of the vegetation than the roofers were. And doesn't anyone in the construction business speak English?

Got back from Known World Cooks and Bards and still recovering. Now it's suddenly summer here - forecast high today over 90, which should easily be a new record. Time to cut the dandelions again and start watering the grass!

After a run of summer-like weather, we're back to proper spring: 40's today, partly cloudy, with a strong north wind. Snow line was rather low on the foothills - close to 6000 ft, I think. A good day to stay inside and play with words.
I designed a new promotional postcard for the local Druids, based on one of my Irish photos. I rather like it.

...at least I think so. The house was re-roofed yesterday, and it was not a stress-free experience. The oak tree lost a branch, and I still have to wait for the next set of people to come replace the (very rusted out) gutters.

And the next book in the series...

Journeyman bard Gwernin Storyteller accompanies a Welsh princess to Ireland for her wedding. But other members of the party have their own objectives... Set five years after The Ash Spear, this will be the 4th book in the Storyteller series, and the beginning of a new trilogy. Scheduled for publication in late 2015.

Poetry Books

My published poetry series so far includes King Arthur's Raid on Hell and Pryderi's Pigs. Coming soon: Storyteller Songs, a collection of poetry and prose from the first three books of the Storyteller series.
